Track Condition
WARNING
Remove the tether cord cap be-
fore performing any maintenance
or adjustment, unless otherwise
specified. Vehicle must be parked
in a safe place, away from the trail.
Remove the tether cord cap.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and
support it with a wide-base snowmo-
bile mechanical stand with a rear de-
flector panel. With the engine off, ro-
tate the track by hand, and inspect con-
dition. If worn or cut, or if track fibers
are exposed, or if missing or defective
inserts or guides are noted; contact an
authorized Lynx dealer.
Track Tension and Alignment
NOTE: Track tension and alignment
are interrelated. Do not adjust one
without the other.
To prevent serious injury to indi-
viduals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a
moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snow-
mobile stand with a rear deflec-
tor panel if it is necessary to ro-
tate track.
– When the track is raised off the
ground, only run it at the lowest
possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause de-
bris, pieces of torn track, or an en-
tire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tun-
nel with tremendous force.

ing track tension.
